Baby, You’ve Got What It Takes

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Brook Benton & Dinah Washington] Well, now, it takes more than a robin to make the winter go And it takes two lips of fire to melt away the snow Well, it takes two hearts a-cookin' to make a fire grow And baby, you've got what it takes (Yeah) [Verse 2: Dinah Washington & Brook Benton] You know it takes a lot of kissin' (Tell me about it) To make a romance sweet (Uh-huh) Ooh, it takes a lot of lovin' to make my life complete Mmm, and it takes a lot of woman to knock me off my feet And baby, you've got what it takes [Bridge: Dinah Washington & Brook Benton, Brook Benton] I said, mmm, mmm, mmm Uh-huh, mmm You know you've got just what it takes [Verse 3: Brook Benton & Dinah Washington] Because it takes more than an effort to stay away from you It'd take more than a lifetime to prove that I'll be true But it takes somebody special to make me say, "I do." (Oh yeah) And baby, you've got what it takes [Bridge: Dinah Washington & Brook Benton, Brook Benton] Uh-huh, mmm, mmm, mmm Mmm You know you've got just what it takes [Verse 4: Brook Benton, Dinah Washington, Both] Because it takes, oh yeah You're in my spot again, honey (I like your spot) To stay away from you (I can't stay away from her) It takes more than a lifetime, daddy, to prove that I'll be true Now it's you But it takes somebody special (Like me, baby) To make me say, "I do." And baby, you've got what it takes [Outro: Brook Benton, Dinah Washington, Both] Come on, say it again, honey Come on, say it one more time, alright And baby, you've got what it takes One more time, Brook Ah-ha, alright, okay, ah-ha And baby, you've got what it takes
